Gas – ensuring security during the transition
A responsible energy transition requires stable and dispatchable power sources during the transitional phase. The power system must be fully prepared for potential interruptions in wind and solar generation, while sources must remain flexible to enable effective system balancing—currently alongside conventional power plants and, in the future, also nuclear.
Gas peaking plants – a fast and reliable response to demand
Vortex Energy consistently develops a portfolio of low-emission energy sources, primarily wind farms, PV installations, and energy storage systems. At the same time, we recognize the need to provide stable, quickly available power sources that complement long-term technologies, such as nuclear or hydrogen, during the energy transition.
The answer to these needs is a portfolio of gas peaking plants with a planned total capacity of 1000 MW. Five locations have already been confirmed, and ten more are in preparation. These projects are systemically and operationally flexible—scalable, quickly deployable, and technically adapted to local requirements.

A responsible and prudent approach to the energy transition must ensure the safe operation of the power system and the energy market under all possible conditions.Gas units provide exceptional flexibility in this regard—not only through their well-known capability for rapid starts and dynamic power adjustment but also thanks to a wide range of potential applications.
They can be developed at different scales and locations, fuelled by multiple types of fuels, including liquid biofuels or future hydrogen-based fuels. They can serve as backup capacity, supply energy according to consumer demand, or provide system services to operators.
For these reasons, they are an excellent support during a responsible energy transition. Our experience, combined with the Vitol Group’s expertise in the development and management of gas assets, shows that this technology can support climate goals without compromising security of energy supply.

Our PartnersGuaranteed dispatchability and global know-how: We execute gas projects in collaboration with VPI, the energy platform of the Vitol Group.We focus on distributed units deeply integrated into the grid, which strengthen local system resilience and enhance supply security. Projects are carried out with reputable technology providers, integrating their solutions with our engineering and management model.
The entire process is supported by VPI, part of the Vitol Group, which has extensive experience operating gas power assets in Europe. Additionally, thanks to Vitol’s presence in the Polish fuel market, we ensure secure and flexible access to gas as a transitional fuel.
